　　He who makes no mistakes makes nothing.

　　Many people around us are afraid of making mistakes. They even feel it a shame to make a

　　mistake. That’s completely wrong. Other people， however， think that making mistakes is an

　　essential part of growing. They don‘t care about making mistakes， they just want to experiment

　　and obtain experience.

　　As a matter of fact， no one never makes any mistakes. Children would fall down many times

　　before they can walk and no one could become an expert until he has failed over and over again.

　　As far as I am concerned， being afraid of making mistakes is a mistake itself. Only through mistakes can there be discovery or progress. Thomas Edison could not have become a scientist if he had not made thousands of mistakes. Making mistakes for pursuing truth is much better than doing nothing. That is， he who makes no mistakes makes nothing.
